event. The payment table will open at 8:30 p.m. Cash,
check, MasterCard, Visa or Discover are the accepted
methods of payment.
The second phase of Ruan Plaza is finished on the south side of
the William C. Knapp Varied Industries Building. This phase of the
beautification project paved the gravel parking area, added trees
and a dedicated sidewalk for better pedestrian flow.
Hundreds of young exhibitors will enjoy the Youth Inn’s final phase
of renovations this August. Replaced windows and improvements
to the main floor and stage area are in addition to an enhanced
kitchen facility. New landscaping and a parking lot will complete
the north side of the building.

corner of the William C. Knapp Varied Industries Building were
upgraded with new fixtures and handicap accessibility. A storm in
the 2000’s left the Administration Building with a damaged roof.
The temporary fix served its purpose and a new roof has been

Since its inception in 1993, the Blue Ribbon Foundation has
been raising funds to renovate and restore the historic Iowa
State Fairgrounds. More than $115 million has been generated
to date, which has supported 40 major projects throughout
the Fairgrounds.
The Blue Ribbon Foundation’s annual Corndog Kickoff Benefit
Auction and Fair Food Grazing Party has aided in raising these
funds. The event has brought in $4.4 million since it began
in 1997 and continues to help us work toward our goal of
preserving our beautiful Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Thanks to your support,
the Foundation is able to continue its mission to ensure a bright
Fair for future generations.
